"No complaints about the staff, everyone was very attentive and friendly, so thank you for that.
However, there are a few points about the hotel itself.
1. For 5 out of 7 days, we stayed in a room with a broken air conditioner that barely heated the room 😵💫. When we checked in and noted that the room wasn't warming up (radiators were cold) and the AC was useless, they offered us a heater, but could only provide it the next day after getting it from other guests. For several days, we had to share it with someone else. Later, someone else must have complained about the cold too, because a technician came and fixed all the air conditioners.
2. The bathroom was very cold because the exhaust vent was just a grate leading outside. You can get creative and block the holes, or just take quick showers.
3. Breakfasts were standard: cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, 3 types of cheese, sausage, eggs, baguette, waffles, butter, honey, jam, something like Nutella, coffee, tea."
